Vargas Llosa, Nobel Prize in Literature and Prince of Asturias Award for Literature, narrates the end of an era by giving a voice to the impeccable and implacable General Trujillo, nicknamed the Goat, and to the calm and skilled Doctor Balaguer (perennial president of the Dominican Republic).

One of the best Spanish books of the last 25 years according to Babelia.

Why does Urania Cabral return to the island she swore never to set foot on again?
Why has she remained empty and full of fear since she was fourteen?
Why has she not had a single love?

In The Feast of the Goat (2000), we witness a double return. While Urania visits her father in Santo Domingo, we return to 1961, when the Dominican capital was still called Ciudad Trujillo. There, a man who doesn't sweat tyrannizes three million people without knowing that a Machiavellian transition to democracy is brewing.

With an almost unsurpassable rhythm and precision, this universal Peruvian shows that politics can consist of making one's way through corpses, and that an innocent being can become a gruesome gift.

Best Spanish novel of the 21st century according to experts consulted by the newspaper ABC.
